Week 1 Wrapped

Week 1 has come and passed, starting with the 49ers trouncing the Rams in Melbourne and capped by Patrick Mahomes' return to the field, beating Bo Nix and the lackluster Broncos at Arrowhead. In between, the Detroit Lions snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against New Orleans and the New York Giants are So Back1.

But who cares about the NFL? We're here to talk about the People's League: do you like football2

Week 1 Preview

🚨👆👉👇🚨 defeats Crouching Tiger soundly, making an already trying football season worse for the Sitting Kitty

Half point - both teams exceed projections considerably, and Crouching Tigers fortunes seem to be improving...

Rawdawgs defeats Acho Endzone. Drake Maye kicks off the season with a surprisingly strong start against a stout Seattle defense.

Half point - Drake Maye was terrible, yet Rawdawgs still put the beat down on MoAE.

.08 Over Par posts a slight upset against Weekend Jail. Lamar, plus the great former Michigan Defensive Coordinator demonstrate they are a potent pair from the jump.

Full point - more than a slight upset, but Lamar and Minter already seem like a promising pair.

Swerski's Super Fans takes an early L against Suphian's Revenge. Josh Allen and the Houston Defense cannibalize one another's output.

No point - Swerski's Super Fans had the highest scoring output of the week, and Suphian will have no revenge if the squad starts stacking sub-100 point weeks.

The Fast and the Jahmyrious soundly defeats multi-time league winner #MNF. Rumors of Gibbs' presidential candidacy begin to swirl.

Full point - is a 2.32 point margin of victory "sound?" When you put up 130 points, yes it is! The real question: will Gibbs survive the season with his current workload?

Self-adjudicated score: 3/5

Prediction record through Week 1: 4-1

Players, superlativized

High Flyer of the Week

given to the highest scoring rostered, active player each week

Caleb Williams lifted .08 Over Par past Weekend Jail, throwing 21 completions against 29 attempts, gaining 65 yards on the ground, and putting 4 touchdowns on the scoreboard.

Little Stinker of the Week

given to the lowest scoring rostered, active player each week

The Houston Texans Defense of Swerski's Super Fans posted a -2.00 this week, and the team still posted 182.66 points. Sandbagging to make us feel like we have a chance? It's not working!

Honorable mentions

Bad Benching

given to the highest scoring rostered, but benched, player each the week

MoAE put Christian Watson's butt on pine, and Green Bay's leading receiver responded with 29.70 fantasy points this week (6 receptions, 147 yards, 2 touchdowns). Now that A.J. Brown is on IR, perhaps MoAE will be forced into making better decisions.

Waiver Whiff

given to the non-rostered player who scored the most points each week

It was not Bryce Young's fault that the Carolina Panthers lost to the Chicago Bears. He put up 361 yards in the air and 4 total touchdowns (3 in the air, 1 on the ground) for 32.44 points. Teams whose fortunes would have changed for the better had they rostered and started the Little One3:

Honorable Mention

Jalen Coker was the biggest beneficiary of Young's production this week, scoring 29.80 points via 8 receptions for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. Will he be a hot waiver target this week?

Exceeding Expectations Star of the Week

given to the team whose points total most greatly exceeded their projection each week

Swerski's Super Fans scored 182.66 against 109.12 projected points, making this team and its manager the Star of the Week! Congratulations. There is now a target on your back.

Commish's Bright Move of the Week4

something Commish noticed and liked each week

.08 Over Par purposefully put the Broncos Defense on the bench to guarantee a win against Weekend Jail and to prevent a potentially Mahomesian roadblock to their 1-0 start.
